Description

Once Thanksgiving passes, the year can slip away in parties and shopping, but if you want to know how to finish the year strong, this sermon says the last 30 days still count. Being pressed is how a grape becomes wine, so the hard seasons are shaping you. Stop living in the rearview mirror, and let Jesus be the fuel that carries you across the finish line. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Philippians 3:12-14 and shows how to keep pressing when you feel worn out at the end of the year. It was preached on Nov 26, 2023. Questions this sermon answers How do I finish the year strong? Don't hand the last 30 days to distraction. Keep pressing with the same purpose you had all year, and trust God to do more with it. Why does life feel like it's pressing me? Like grapes pressed into wine, God uses hard seasons to push out what doesn't belong and make you more valuable. How do I stop living in the past? Paul says to forget what lies behind and strain toward what is ahead, so stop judging your life by your worst years. What do I do when I hit a wall? Like a marathoner at mile 20, slow down for a moment and let Jesus become your fuel to push through.
